Angry Kerry Activists Lay Siege to Bush Office in St. Paul, Intimidate Voters

ST. PAUL -- On the same day that someone fired shots into the windows at the Bush/Cheney campaign headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee, angry Kerry supporters laid siege to the Bush headquarters in St. Paul Minnesota today.

"Today's siege on the Bush/Cheney headquarters in St. Paul was an attempt by Democrats and the Kerry campaign to intimidate voters who were picking up tickets to see the President," said Republican Party of Minnesota State Chair Ron Eibensteiner. "The Minnesota Kerry Campaign and DFL are ruled by an angry mob mentality that has nothing positive to offer Minnesota voters." Today Kerry supporters blocked the entrance to the Bush campaign's Minnesota headquarters with buses and proceeded to rush into the headquarters in a clear attempt to intimidate voters who were picking up tickets to see the President this Saturday.

Eibensteiner called on DFL Chair Mike Erlandson and Kerry's Minnesota campaign to immediately cease these kinds of intimidation tactics.

"Lately, the DFL Party and Kerry Campaign can be best described as Anger Incorporated," said Eibensteiner. "They need to stop their escalation of these intimidation tactics before someone gets hurt."

Eibensteiner pointed out other instances where out-of-control Kerry supporters have intimidated voters. For example, at the Gophers football game last weekend, a Kerry supporter physically assaulted a female College Republican who was handing out flyers supporting the President. In a similar incident, Kerry supporters assaulted College Republicans at the Minnesota State Fair. During the incident, the union members elbowed two College Republicans in the head and threw them to the ground.

Also, DFL Party officials have yet to repudiate a bumper sticker, which was handed out from their party headquarters comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler.
"Anger is no substitute for optimistic leadership," said Eibensteiner. "Through their actions, Democrats have shown themselves incapable of governing themselves, much less our nation, during these challenging times."



Where does it all come from? Just my theory but I think we have our wonderful taxpayer funded education system to thank for this behavior. Under the “Dewey” system of education it was ingrained in our children that it is more important to come to a consensus then to arrive at the right answer. Obviously these people think that the majority of the voters in this country will not arrive at the consensus that they desire – so they display the only reaction that has worked for them in this “non corporal punishment world” - they react with violent temper tantrums. And to compound the situation – when they get to college, who is there to teach them? Liberal minded professors who most likely were draft card burning, chaos loving, society disrupting, authority hating, military besmirching longhaired students back in the 60’s. Yes – I am saying that I have a touch of gray when I state I can remember watching all the riots of the 60’s – but it wasn’t a very reassuring feeling when our troops were spit on and our police had to be on the defensive from the very citizenry that they swore an oath to protect. As I read more and more of these things on the blogs like freerepublic – the more I see this generation putting up with the same kind of society hating BS that my generation dealt with. But the good thing about this day and age – I don’t have to rely on the liberal loving media mullahs to know that the Democrats are using 60’s style tactics to disrupt the elections. Today I have this wonderful little toy in front of me and all those freedom loving bloggers like yourselves to count on.
Let freedom and the freerepublic ring!

You're getting very close here but what I might add is that they are reacting to Fear. "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" (can't quote the source) but you get the message. Some of us are not afraid, but others are.

After the big rock was cast into the pond on 9/11, it's ripples still carry far and these 'waters' remain unsettled.

One might think four year election cycles might suffice to 'calm' events where our electorate would once again think clearly on issues, but apparently not. 'Thanks' goes to the media and democrats for clouding up the water, rocking the boat, and frankly, trying to scare the crap out of everyone.
